History

The base design of a long sleeve t-shirt has existed since humans were first muddling through the early days of atmospheric flight. This however is not enough to stop agencies such as Star Army Logistics Materiel Acquisitions Division from conducting an entire study to acquire the best t-shirt for the price and production rate. On special request from various arctic and desert warfare units and training centers, the long sleeve shirt was to be made from a breathable wool instead of the synthetic cotton of the standard short sleeve shirt. Compared to the synthetic cotton shirt, a wool shirt would help much more with temperature regulation, even when wet.

Design

The long sleeved undershirt is a simple design utilizing fabric spun from the wool of mass cloned Merino-like sheep. The shirt is incredibly light and comfortable, however they do not stand up to frequent abrasions well and require hang drying. Because of this, some soldiers prefer to combine the classic Star Army Undershirt with Star Army Thermal Undergarments
